Alfred Rittmann was a world's leading volcanologist at his time. His book "Vulkane und ihre Tätigkeit" was translated in five languages (2 ed.) and it was a standard work on volcanism. He drew the right conclusion that orogenic uplift volcanism (igneous rocks of the Calcium series), lacks alkaline basalts (igneous rocks of the Sodic series). At the annual meeting of the German Geological Society in January 1939, he was right opposing the idea that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was a orogenic uplift by compression, and his opposition to disregard the Continental drift theory raised doubts. He was elected IAVCEI President for three periods (1954-1963).
